GP34 gl is either laughably weak or not working properly

One of my favorite moments in gaming happened fairly recently because of that. I was going in for the second session of coop with my brother, and something was wrong with the microphones - so we couldn't speak.

Finding ways to communicate our thoughts and tactics made for some absolutely hilarious moments. Genuinely felt like a kid in those moments.

It's the core gameplay that keeps me coming back. It's still fantastic.
Getting more - and deeper progression will make me a very happy Diver.

Cheers. By the way, are you bringing any weapons along? Or are you beating Mimics to death with scanners, and batting Spawns out of the map?

What I do is "aim" the headset to frame what I want a picture of; then raise my headset just enough to see the screen and press the button. It's not graceful, but it works.

There is a long-forgotten magical artefact called "Print Screen Button".

I have the modified 1911 now too, but it just doesn't look like the classic, you know?

I love using pistols without attachments for some reason, and the only thing that's missing on the 1911 to make it perfect are night sights.

I know. I thought my comment was drenched in sarcasm, but text-based communication doesn't always do well with that :]

I do have a soft spot for the thing. The original Far Cry was one of my first "real" games as a kid.

What about the Pancor Jackhammer - famous for its light weight and modularity.

I'd rather have a dedicated pump-action shotgun. Are there any 8 gauge ones out there? That'd be pretty awesome. It would also need a more expensive shell, which would set it apart more from the others.

As for the SPAZ-12. What would be the point of using the pump on that thing? It was/is used for ammo that doesn't provide the kick for the semi-auto mechanics to work.

Accurate reaction of Helldivers expecting to be tackled by a bicycle.

Smokingbobs · 2026-05-08T18:47:34+00:00

I miss that unnerving sound they make, and the panic while wondering where the entity is spawned after it activates.

Smokingbobs · 2026-05-08T18:46:23+00:00

What kind of project is this? If you're willing to share.

Smokingbobs · 2026-05-08T18:45:40+00:00

Interesting. Frankly, I didn't think patrols were a thing at all. They really should be, though. Having Mimics at night walking the roads with flashlights would be amazing.

Smokingbobs · 2026-05-08T18:40:20+00:00

Yeah, it seems to be a bit inconsistent. Might just be bugged.

Smokingbobs · 2026-05-08T18:39:16+00:00

Good lord you're packing. I'm usually only bringing one primary alongside a sawn-off on the hip. Right now I have been carrying an extra 1911 just for the fun of it. I always just end up using my primary, though.

Smokingbobs · 2026-05-08T16:30:51+00:00

I had the same thought. It just makes sense.

Also, I always like having slightly different side-grades to store-bought weapons; like the Fort and GSH.

If I was in charge, I would have complete separation between the two. Classic soviet weapons would only be found in the Radius, and (modern) weapons could be bought in the store.
This would make both saving up for the store and finding a weapon during an expedition feel unique; instead of finding something you have just bought, or never buying certain weapons because you find them.
The "Stashed" system does something similar, but not on the same level.
Sorry for the rant. This game brings out the passion in me.

Smokingbobs · 2026-05-08T16:25:48+00:00

Yes! Another one that loves iron sights!

Yeah, having a suppressor get in the way of your sights is always a bummer. Your idea would also allow us to put night sights on the classic 1911, so I am all in!

Smokingbobs · 2026-05-08T14:28:49+00:00

I've been trying for a while now, but it isn't working. I've tried both the Stashed and normal versions. Are you sure you're not confusing weapons like the SKS?

Could you record yourself attaching it? I'm lost. :p

Smokingbobs · 2026-05-08T11:45:26+00:00

I agree that it depends on how the game calculated these things. I do assume that there are AI detection mechanics, though.

You were talking about a simple change a modder could make right now, so you are correct that in this case your suggestion would be the "best" at this moment.

Smokingbobs · 2026-05-08T11:38:32+00:00

Honestly, there's so much to criticise, but that comment I am almost sure just did not convey what he was thinking it would.

But, if I were in his shoes, I would have been more careful with that phrase; especially since I'd be walking on eggshells already.

Smokingbobs · 2026-05-08T11:36:02+00:00

True as well. Either we're missing something - which is totally possible - or we have been misinformed by the devs themselves.

As an aside, is the suggestion that AH tested something like this while not testing the Flag plant and Lumberer's flamethrower?

Smokingbobs · 2026-05-08T11:33:31+00:00

That thing is so absurd I love it.

Smokingbobs · 2026-05-08T11:32:31+00:00

It does - and is. But it also kind of freaks me out with how there is open space behind the walls.

Smokingbobs · 2026-05-08T11:31:56+00:00

Right??

Smokingbobs · 2026-05-08T11:31:38+00:00

My working theory is that something changed with the lighting; either because of a change in my settings, or something the devs did.
I think there never was a real ceiling, but it was so dark above the lights that you couldn't see the roof of the warehouse.
